Somewhere this week on MN, I've seen someone write about 'the luck of the drawer' - which still makes sense, as if there's a huge chest of many, many drawers & you have to pick one to open, without knowing what's inside any of them.

Someone was waffling on about something a rather.

Apparently, some people say "you've got another thing coming" instead of "think"

<runs away>

See I know it's another think coming, and obviously that makes sense, but "got another thing coming" just sounds better....so I continue to use that 🫣

People ‘coach’ their pets

I often see posts about bridal paths. I imagine them bedecked with white bows and confetti. My horse would not be impressed.

I’m going to elaborate on the ‘coaching ‘ of pets.

Inside I am saying to myself
“Coach him to do what, win an Olympic Medal”

I've read a post from someone trying to choose what 'source' to have on their meal.

What about those people who should 'of' worked harder at school?

Primary school HT wrote in newsletter how Covid had been a steep lurking curb for them

Good combo of malapropism and autocorrect - think I prefer it to the original saying.

I think some of the other, eg rest bite - could be down to using speech recognition software - I know I get some interesting stuff when I use mine

GBoucher · 14/03/2023 16:31

I remember someone at work sending around an email about his team's 'floorless' execution.

I could do with alot of rest bite.

Snap!

DD worked in a country pub, and there was a regular who kept taking her dog into the ladies, so they put a sign on the door saying "no dogs aloud"

So, no barking, basically!

Wishimaywishimight · 14/03/2023 16:33

A lady at a nearby table in a restaurant ordered 'turbo' obviously thinking 'turbot' had a silent 't'.

Palm7rees · 14/03/2023 16:35

@jizzlord had to Google that. Can’t believe it!

Saltywalruss · 14/03/2023 16:37

steep lurking curb just trying to imagine what one of those would look like 😁

Could someone let me have pacific details? 🙄

He is a 'lonely child' instead of an only child.

I've had a letter about the forthcoming local elections 'from your perspective Independent candidate'.

My parents-in-law are always talking about how my DH's work is a "right cushty number". Whenever I comment that he doesn't work as a market trader in Peckham I am greeted with blank looks.
